      And how exactly does this dumb-ass know what is in President Obama's heart?

      Bush claimed to know what was in Putin's soul... and we know that Bush was/is a moron.

      As for socialism... why can't these lunatics of the right-wing get it through their collective heads... we ARE a socialist nation!

      Which is why capitalism and society do not mix all that well.

      We know these people are on the side of unfettered capitalism... where most of the rest of us are on the side of properly regulated capitalism.

      I'm all for profit... just not when it occurs at the expense of peoples lives and livelihood!

        And how exactly does this dumb-ass know what is in President Obama's heart?

        I wouldn't have put it that way exactly, but it seems to fit the facts pretty well.

        Every Christian should be denouncing this. One of our rules of faith is that God alone is omniscient, that no person can know what is anyone else's heart. Anyone who claims to know this should be shunned, and I don't mean maybe.

        At my former church, the music pastor had the unbelievable gall to listen to a teenaged girl give an oboe recital, and then declare that he wouldn't let her perform in the church because she was "playing for her own glory, and not for God's." The girl's family, appalled at the pastor's claim to this divine ability, left the church almost immediately; and the father was a deacon at the time.

        That's the kind of reception Ozanian should get. Somehow, I doubt it will happen, though.

      The price of corn went up because of government subsidies? Ummmmmmmm no. I don't think so. It was because MORE land went towards ethanol instead of food, thereby decreasing the amount of food and driving up prices.

        When you are a relative of the Wizard of Oz, you should only say these things from behind a curtain. Otherwise, click your heels three times and say, "there's no place like Fox, there's no place like Fox, there's no place like Fox"...and abracadabra, you are in a fairy tale world circa 1939.

        Mr. Ozanian, I knew the Wizard of Oz and you, sir, are no Wizard. So quit trying to read minds and hearts....but if you insist, how about a reading of Rushs' heart.

      Fox is getting collectively more insane. Deep in their hearts, does anybody actually believe anything they say anymore?

        The problem is that, Fox can tell its loyal followers that the tooth fairy is real and they will simply believe Fox, without fact-checking it. So yeah, if Fox says it is the truth, then it must be the truth.

      I, ________________________, do solemnly swear to uphold the principles of a socialism-free society and heretofore pledge my word that I shall strictly adhere to the following:

      I will complain about the destruction of 1st Amendment Rights in this country, while I am duly being allowed to exercise my 1st Amendment Rights.

      I will complain about the destruction of my 2nd Amendment Rights in this country, while I am duly being allowed to exercise my 2nd Amendment rights by legally but brazenly brandishing unconcealed firearms in public.

      I will foreswear the time-honored principles of fairness, decency, and respect by screaming unintelligible platitudes regarding tyranny, Nazi-ism, and socialism at public town halls. Also.

      I pledge to eliminate all government intervention in my life. I will abstain from the use of and participation in any socialist goods and services including but not limited to the following:

      Social Security
      Medicare/Medicaid
      State Children’s Health Insurance Programs (SCHIP)
      Police, Fire, and Emergency Services
      US Postal Service
      Roads and Highways
      Air Travel (regulated by the socialist FAA)
      The US Railway System
      Public Subways and Metro Systems
      Public Bus and Lightrail Systems
      Rest Areas on Highways
      Sidewalks

      All Government-Funded Local/State Projects (e.g., see Iowa 2009 federal senate appropriations)
      Public Water and Sewer Services (goodbye socialist toilet, shower, dishwasher, kitchen sink, outdoor hose!)
      Public and State Universities and Colleges
      Public Primary and Secondary Schools
      Sesame Street

      Public Museums
      Libraries
      Public Parks and Beaches
      State and National Parks
      Public Zoos
      Unemployment Insurance

      Municipal Garbage and Recycling Services
      Treatment at Any Hospital or Clinic That Ever Received Funding From Local, State or Federal Government (pretty much all of them)

      Medical Services and Medications That Were Created or Derived From Any Government Grant or Research Funding (again, pretty much all of them)
      Socialist Byproducts of Government Investment Such as Duct Tape and Velcro (Nazi-NASA Inventions)

      Use of the Internets, email, and networked computers, as the DoD's ARPANET was the basis for subsequent computer networking
      Foodstuffs, Meats, Produce and Crops That Were Grown With, Fed With, Raised With or That Contain Inputs From Crops Grown With Government Subsidies

      Clothing Made from Crops (e.g. cotton) That Were Grown With or That Contain Inputs From Government Subsidies

      If a veteran of the government-run socialist US military, I will forego my VA benefits and insist on paying for my own medical care

      I will not tour socialist government buildings like the Capitol in Washington, D.C.

      I pledge to never take myself, my family, or my children on a tour of the following types of socialist locations, including but not limited to:

      Smithsonian Museums such as the Air and Space Museum or Museum of American History
      The socialist Washington, Lincoln, and Jefferson Monuments
      The government-operated Statue of Liberty
      The Grand Canyon
      The socialist World War II and Vietnam Veterans Memorials
      The government-run socialist-propaganda location known as Arlington National Cemetery
      All other public-funded socialist sites, whether it be in my state or in Washington, DC

      I will urge my Member of Congress and Senators to forego their government salary and government-provided healthcare.

      I will oppose and condemn the government-funded and therefore socialist military of the United States of America.

      I will boycott the products of socialist defense contractors such as GE, Lockheed-Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, Raytheon, Humana, FedEx, General Motors, Honeywell, and hundreds of others that are paid by our socialist government to produce goods for our socialist army.

      I will protest socialist security departments such as the Pentagon, FBI, CIA, Department of Homeland Security, TSA, Department of Justice and their socialist employees.
      Upon reaching eligible retirement age, I will tear up my socialist Social Security checks.

      Upon reaching age 65, I will forego Medicare and pay for my own private health insurance until I die.

      SWORN ON A BIBLE AND SIGNED THIS DAY OF __________ IN THE YEAR ___.

      Forbes on Fox's Mike Ozanian: In Obama's "heart, he believes in socialism"



      Funny how a network that constantly accuses Obama of being "afraid" to appear on its shows is somehow aware of what's "in his heart" . . .
